Negociants New Zealand Celebrates its 30th Birthday

Negociants New Zealand Celebrates its 30th Birthday

Left Conatiner

30 years on and what an exciting ride it has been. To celebrate Negociants 30th Anniversary, the company hosted two significant tastings: the first at Sky City in Auckland and the second at Logan Brown in Wellington.

In addition to raising a glass or two over lunch, the purpose was to share 30 iconic wines with our long-term customers, many of whom have become allies and friends.

These are customers and suppliers, who have stuck with Negociants through both good and more challenging times; in a very competitive, ever changing and crowded marketplace. This was the Negociants way of saying THANK YOU!

The wines selected for our Icon Tasting reflect diversity of style and provenance. They are all wines of pedigree, international renown and high quality within their category.
